Joannes Antonius Scopoli, the first trained physician, who was appointed to work in Idrija by the Habsburg queen Maria Theresa, recommended wormwood tea to the miners as a great mouth disinfectant. The miners then »flavoured« this tea with their own additives. In memory of the old mining times, House of Herbs from Idrija region prepared a refined wormwood bitters, to which they added selected herbs for a more exquisite taste.
